My girlfriend was reborn.

Chapter 58 Birthday, Life Photos

Jiangcheng City Science and Technology Astronomy Museum.

Located near the Jiangcheng Grand Theatre, it is one of a series of science and education projects developed by Jiangcheng Industry.

Originally, it was just a small museum, but it was later expanded and became a brand-new science and astronomy museum.

Zhou Heming visited the old place once when he was in elementary school, but he has not visited the new one yet.

Cheng Shuangjiang and Lu Bai, who came to Jiangcheng from other places to study, had naturally never been here before.

As it is a science and education project, the tickets for the science and planetarium are not expensive; with a student ID, it only costs 20 yuan.

Cheng Shuangjiang even checked carefully to see if she could get a free ticket with her student ID, since she is currently disabled; however, the answer was disappointing.

When we arrived at the entrance of the Science and Technology Planetarium, which is uniquely shaped like an artificial satellite and located on the shore of Lake Mo, we found that there were already many groups of primary school students and parents with their children. Occasionally, we could also see couples.

Zhou Heming could only say that couples who choose to go on dates in places like this have good taste.

"Who would choose a place like this for a date? Oh, there's a couple right in front of me, never mind then."

Lu Bai haphazardly stuffed the tickets into his bag, glanced at the elementary school students being led on an autumn outing by their teacher not far away, and sighed.

"I really like it here!"

Cheng Shuangjiang held Zhou Heming's hand and looked around curiously.

"As long as you like it."

Lu Bai walked to the side to check out the audio guides available for rent.

This girl seemed to be quite familiar with exhibition halls and museums, even though she said she was disgusted by them.

"Besides, this is where A-He and I had our first date."

Cheng Shuangjiang whispered in Zhou Heming's ear.

"Oh, so you've been here before?"

This was something the young man hadn't expected. He suddenly felt that his planned itinerary was questionable. At the same time, he also mentally berated himself for being thirty years old and bringing a girl to a place like this on his first date. Wasn't he afraid of scaring her away?
"But by then, it had already been renovated, so it must have been two years later. So this is my first time visiting a science and planetarium of this era!"

The smiling girl explained, holding Zhou Heming's right hand tightly, her fingertips gently stroking the back of his hand.

"Well, that's alright."

Zhou Heming felt a little relieved.

"Once this place is repaired, I want to come back with A-He again~"

The girl pursed her lower lip and made a promise to Zhou Heming.

"Okay."

When Zhou Heming saw Lu Bai return, he saw that Lu Bai was not carrying anything.

“I read online that we don’t need to rent an audio guide here, it’s all very basic stuff, so let’s not waste our money. Renting one costs 20 yuan, which is almost the price of the entrance fee.”

It seems that he is also a practical and frugal person.

Following the order of the visit, the three first entered a densely vegetated exhibition area.

According to the description here, this restoration showcases the different landscapes, vegetation, and animals of various regions on Earth.

At the very beginning of the booth was the statement, "To understand the starry sky, you must first understand the Earth."

"This is a fjord landform, right? It seems to be the only landform in China that doesn't exist here."

When they reached an area where a stream meandered down the mountainside, flowed through vegetation, and merged into the valley, Cheng Shuangjiang, a top student, said.

"Because it was formed by the combined action of glaciers and the ocean, it can only be found in areas close to the poles."

"Why is it that I recognize each word individually, but when they are put together, I don't understand them at all?"

Lu Bai tried hard to read the text instructions next to her, but as it turned out, for her, who had earned her place in exam room number twelve through her own abilities, the knowledge in the textbooks was enough to riddle her with bullets.

"But it's quite pretty."

She decided to steer the conversation in a direction she was comfortable with, and gestured with her hands.

“I think I saw a movie before that was filmed in a place like this. The composition was excellent. If I have the chance to go abroad, I feel I should go see it.”

"If Ahe were to go abroad, where would you like to go?"

Cheng Shuangjiang toned down her academic aura and switched to Lu Bai's topic, discussing travel.

"Me? I'll probably go to New Zealand."

"What?"

Lu Bai scratched his head.

"Is it because it was a filming location for 'The Lord of the Rings'?"

Ultimately, Cheng Shuangjiang knew her boyfriend better than anyone else, she said.

"Yeah, Mount Doom, the Shire and Hobbiton, and Rivendell, it feels like we could spend a whole month exploring them."

Zhou Heming knew them all like the back of his hand.

"So all the photos were taken over there? The scenery there is really beautiful."

As an actress who studied acting, Lu Bai had naturally seen that series of ridiculously long movies, but she hadn't paid attention to the behind-the-scenes stories. Now that Zhou Heming brought it up, she became more interested.

"Unfortunately, we never got to go there."

Cheng Shuangjiang sighed softly.

"It's okay. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Lu Bai offered a word of comfort.

Only Zhou Heming knew that the girl was referring to the two 35-year-olds. Perhaps it was due to financial reasons, or perhaps it was due to time constraints; in any case, they were unable to make the trip.

Life goal +1.

As they passed through the exhibition hall, they saw that things ahead seemed to have become noisy.

"That looks like a butterfly garden?"

Zhou Heming glanced at the road sign next to him.

Inside a huge glass house, lush ivy climbs everywhere, interspersed with numerous verdant trees and flowers. Countless butterflies flutter among them.

This is a special exhibit at the Science and Planetarium, much like the bird sanctuary often found in zoos, except here you get up close to all sorts of colorful butterflies.

Are you afraid of bugs?

Zhou Heming asked the first question.

Although butterflies are beautiful, there are indeed people in the world who hate any insect.

Both girls shook their heads.

Zhou Heming then led the two into the sunny butterfly garden.

Upon entering the room, the first thing you notice is a faint, pleasant fragrance.

The flowers that bloom in autumn are carefully cultivated, including chrysanthemums, camellias, morning glories, hibiscus, globe amaranth, and musk hibiscus, among others. Zhou Heming recognizes them all, and they are all in full bloom, with countless butterflies fluttering among them.

Almost the instant they entered, a butterfly landed on Cheng Shuangjiang's shoulder. It was a butterfly that shone brightly in the sunlight, with colors as brilliant as the moon.

"This looks like a Morpho butterfly, also known as the Dream Moonlight Butterfly."

Seeing that Cheng Shuangjiang was not afraid, Zhou Heming glanced at the commentator beside him.

"These butterflies are very rare. I didn't expect to encounter them as soon as I came in."

"This shows that today is indeed a lucky day."

As Cheng Shuangjiang spoke, the butterfly, shimmering with metallic luster, fluttered and soared into the sky.

"These little butterflies are nice too."

Lu Bai moved closer and saw a small, white-winged butterfly perched on the stamen of a yellow chrysanthemum.

"Ah He, look!"

At this moment, Cheng Shuangjiang's voice made the two of them look over.

On the tip of the girl's raised left finger, a morpho butterfly with dark blue wings was perched.

"Wow!"

Nearby, the children seemed amazed that the young lady could make the butterflies stay so obediently on her hand, and gathered around, watching the beautiful butterflies from a distance with a mixture of excitement and caution.

Zhou Heming immediately picked up his phone, activated burst mode, and snapped dozens of photos, trying to capture this magical moment.

"Ah He".

The girl called out, and as if knowing what she was about to do, Zhou Heming put down his phone and pointed a finger at her.

The next moment, the colorful butterfly seemed to understand Cheng Shuangjiang's call, and it took flight lightly, fluttering towards Zhou Heming, and then landed steadily on his outstretched fingertip.

There were exclamations.

This time, even passing couples and parents with children couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, and the two suddenly became the focus of the entire butterfly garden.

Having undergone courage training, Zhou Heming was able to remain calm in front of everyone, but the butterfly was clearly startled by the sound and quickly took off, disappearing to who knows where.

Only then did the people disperse.

Other couples also raised their hands, trying to get the butterflies to land, but clearly, not everyone could have the same experience as before.

Cheng Shuangjiang came to Zhou Heming's side and gently took his hand.

"That was amazing! I never expected the butterfly to actually fly onto A-He's hand."

"That must be because we were holding hands the whole time, so my hands smell like you."

Zhou Heming attempted to explain.

"It could also be the other way around; they might like Ahe's scent, just like I do."

"!"

You really are something, saying such incredible things so casually.

Zhou Heming looked at the girl who was so excited that she seemed about to hum a song at any moment, and a smile spread across his lips.

"By the way, Ah He, you took a picture of me just now, right? Let me see it."

The boy handed her his phone, and Cheng Shuangjiang opened the photos, her brows furrowing slightly.

"There are so many! It's so hard to choose."

"They all look good."

"No, I have to delete some of the blurry photos and those with bad expressions. I can't keep any ugly photos."

As Cheng Shuangjiang spoke, she neatly deleted some blurry photos caused by the phone's instability before returning the phone to Zhou Heming.

Just as they were exchanging photos, Cheng Shuangjiang suddenly stared at Zhou Heming's hair and exclaimed softly.

"Hey, wait, don't move, there's a butterfly."

Cheng Shuangjiang's words made Zhou Heming dare not even breathe.

Then, the girl took out her phone, turned on the front-facing selfie camera, and captured the two faces in the photo frame. Zhou Heming tried to find the butterfly in the photo, but the girl had already pressed the shutter.

click-

At that moment.

Zhou Heming felt a heat on his cheek, and a soft touch vanished in an instant.

He looked at Cheng Shuangjiang's phone.

In the photo, the boy looks a little nervous, while the girl is smiling broadly as she kisses his cheek. Behind them, flowers are in full bloom, butterflies are fluttering, the sun is strong, and the water is gentle.

This photo captures the moment clearly, without being blurred due to movement or out of focus.

Zhou Heming turned his head and belatedly realized that there might not have been any butterflies at all.

Only the girl, waving her phone, smiled brightly.

"Hehe, life photo, got it!"
